IDF: A 25-meter-deep underground command center of the Hezbollah terrorist organization located inside a clothing store in Al-Khiyam

As part of operations to expose and dismantle terrorist infrastructure in the village of Al-Khiyam in southern Lebanon, IDF soldiers discovered a tunnel approximately 25 meters deep inside a civilian clothing store. The tunnel was used as a command center by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Inside it were weapons and rooms used for managing terror operations by the terrorist organization’s operatives.
